Whereas, his service to the district began as director of Adult and Community Education, and his long and distinguished career includes stints as principal of West Hardeeville and, later, Jasper County High Schools, and as the head of Chapter 1 Reading and Mathematics and Vocational Educational programs, the curriculum program, and the entire transportation, food service, and maintenance programs; and

Whereas, his unparalleled administrative experience and his educational preparation, including a doctorate in Educational Administration from South Carolina State University, made him a valuable contributor to the education of Jasper County's students; and

Whereas, he hopes to be, and surely will be, remembered as "having done for the children of Jasper County the best with what I had to work". Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:
